ACOSTA SARIEGO, José Ramón. The bioethical labyrinth of health research. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3127.

A historical analysis was made on the relationship of scientific research and health assistance practice. The process of drafting international and national standards regulating scientific research in this field was described. The main pillars that support the quality of ethical assessment of projects were determined and the accomplishments and shortcomings of the Cuban ethical commissions for research were discussed. It was concluded that our country has reached high levels of standardization and social regulation in health research; however, the ethical committees have not played their roles to the utmost, so it is necessary to improve their work by undertaking actions to identify the training requirements of their members and of researchers in general in the field of Research Ethics and of Bioethics
